Teaching with Isis
This article considers the relationship between research and pedagogy in Isis from the perspective of undergraduate teaching. Isis does not think of itself primarily as an organ for supporting education in the history of science, yet contributions to Isis are found across undergraduate syllabi, classrooms, and curricula.

The naturalist, Luigi Ferdinando Marsili, systematically interrogated the wetland…
